Cornell University Head Coach Jeff Tambroni will direct this GameBreaker Lacrosse Camp.  Coach Tambroni is one of the elite NCAA coaches in the game today; ranking in the top 10 among active coaches in winning percentage.  He is the second fastest coach in Cornell history to reach the 50 win plateau. During his tenure he has coached 21 All-Ivy League players, 3 Ivy League Players of the Year, 2 Rookies of the Year and an astounding 23 All-American Selections.  He has guided the Big Red to 4 straight Ivy League Championships and also 3 straight NCAA Championship Appearances.  His 2006 squad was ranked #2 in the nation.

In his eighth season at Cornell, Tambroni led the 2008 squad to an 11-4 record overall and a mark of 5-1 in the Ivy League, earning a share of its sixth straight Ivy League title, the longest stretch since Cornell won 10-straight championships between 1974 and 1983. Cornell's six consecutive regular season Ivy titles is the longest current stretch by any team in any conference. In 2007, Coach Tambroni led Cornell to the NCAA Final Four where they fell to Duke by one goal.  The squad finished 15-1 and was ranked #1 in the country for most of the season.  They also won their 5th straight Ivy League Championship.
